Introduction

Use this guide to remove the black covers protecting the mouse's white click button pieces.

Tools

Step 1

Use a blue spudger to pry all 4 mouse feet off the bottom of the mouse.

Step 2

Use a #00 screwdriver (3x5mm) to unscrew all 6 screws from under the mouse feet.

Step 3

Use a blue spudger to open the bottom battery port.

Step 4

Lift the top of the mouse from the base of the mouse (separate mouse in half) to expose the internal hardware.

Step 5

Use pliers to grip and remove the black covers over the button — the black cover and the button, a small white plastic piece, should come off).

That’s really mean. Some kid is going to do that, and not understand why the replacement switch won’t go on.

how are you supposed to put the feet back?

you have to buy new ones… i’m more concerned of using pliers to take the switch apart, when ideally you should desolder it and replace it with a proper omron switch (not made in china)

He is only removing the cover, not the whole button. But doing it with pliers is skipping that it has two clips, one at each end and you could damage the board just twisting and pulling

Are the side buttons the same?

What do you do after step 5? And that copper spring looks wrong. It shouldn’t look like that. The correct positioning is this: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/galle...

The side buttons are the same - I just replaced an old and faulty left with a right one from another mouse. Now it works fine. It needs soldering. Repairing the spring inside the switch did not work for me (doesn't mean someone else can't do it).
